The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

"We're in a moment where solidarity is being threatened" The movements for climate justice, immigrant justice, and Palestinian justice are connected by a common threat—one which seeks to silence nonviolent protest through criminalization.

The armed, yellow-vested "peacekeepers" at the Utah 50501 protest in Salt Lake City opened fire into a crowd, hitting two people: A Sāmoan fashion designer with two young kids, who died. A second-generation Venezuelan immigrant and antiracist protester who was legally carrying. Cops charged HIM.

This is just Hasbara Tourette at this point. Every time anyone critiques Israel, its apologists and propagandists pull a random antisemitic trope out of a hat and cry that not being able to present your death machines is exactly like the Warsaw Ghetto.

Israel was asked to remove some weapons from the Paris airshow. They refused. The organisers opted to segment the Israeli booth. Israel compared that to past Jewish ghettos (I’m not kidding). They were then ordered shut down by the French government. www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

Besides the obvious hit job, this is so badly written. They simply made a decision to smear someone they don’t like, and they have no actual arguments. I’m amazed they managed to go this low

If you want an example of the failings of Community Notes, look no further than Musk spreading misinfo in the hours after the Minnesota shooting. The shooter has now been IDed as a Trump supporter. There is no community note on Musk or the original post he quotes.

The familiar IDF maps are back, now with Tehran instead of Gaza or Lebanon and Farsi instead of Arabic. This massive area of Tehran is being threatened.

The Saudis executed journalist Turki al-Jasser after arresting him in 2018 for his reporting on corruption cpj.org/2025/06/saud... That was the same year the Saudis murdered and dismembered Jamal Khashoggi. There were no long-term consequences, and al-Jasser paid the ultimate price as a result.

"If you memory-hole 18 years of occupation, and decades more of Israeli violence, it just looks like a man being violent. If you integrate reality, that action becomes symbolic" Well worth reading Elia's latest on the framing of violence.

Friends in Beirut hearing Israeli drones a lot these days, and they're louder. The goal is to keep the entire civilian population, already struggling with PTSD (without the 'post' in PTSD), on edge - all the time, 24/7. Kids are growing up with the constant sound of Israeli drones

Nearly 2 years of genocide in which the Israelis openly and deliberately target civilians and they still get put out PR statements that get shared by mainstream media outlets (here Reuters and The Guardian) The Guardian didn't even include what those statements were (right).
